Distributed systems, durable workflows and the products that sit on top of them. Currently architecting at Aurix.

01 Philosophy

I design high-availability distributed systems, then stay close enough to the code to make them real. Golang and Temporal underneath. Next.js and Django on top. AWS holding it all together.

Whiteboard → productionGolang → pixelsBig picture → last detail

02 The stack

Five layers.
One mind.

Most engineers pick a floor. I work the whole building — from the pixel someone taps to the container it runs on.

  1. L1

    Interface

    Where people touch the system.

    Next.js · React · React Native

  2. L2

    Services

    APIs with clear contracts and boring failure modes.

    Golang · Django · Node.js

  3. L3

    Orchestration

    Long-running business logic that survives restarts.

    Temporal · Trigger.dev · Queues

  4. L4

    Data

    Relational models that tell the truth.

    Prisma · Relational modeling · MongoDB

  5. L5

    Cloud

    The ground everything else stands on.

    AWS · Terraform · Containers · CI/CD

03 The system

Built to
survive failure.

  1. 01

    Ingest

    Requests, events and uploads. Validate early, accept fast, never lose a message.

  2. 02

    Orchestrate

    Durable Temporal workflows in Go. Retries, timeouts and compensation are designed in, not bolted on.

  3. 03

    Persist

    Careful relational models, secure data flows and migrations that don’t wake anyone up.

  4. 04

    Observe

    If you can’t see it, you can’t run it. Metrics, traces and CI/CD that make 3 a.m. quiet.

04 Selected work

Good thinking,
made tangible.

Three problems I put my hands on — from the systems you don’t see to the experiences you do.

Let’s build what lasts.

A hard problem, a system that has to scale, or a product that needs a builder who can also draw the blueprint? Good. Let’s talk.
